To Dr. Reid, I'd like to ask a question about the Alzheimer's strategy. You mentioned a dementia strategy.
Speaking of that, I've been told that Canada is one of the few industrialized countries that has yet to implement a national Alzheimer's and dementia strategy. When you Google national Alzheimer's strategy you come up with the website for the UK. You come up with the news that the U.S. launched a national strategy in May of 2012. You get the private member's bill from Motion 574 of the hon. member for Edmonton-Leduc, but you don't get a Canadian government Alzheimer's strategy.
My mother is 84 and has Alzheimer's and has access to resources to help her, but an awful lot of families out there and a lot of people with Alzheimer's don't have the benefits to track the support they need.
What do you see as a national Alzheimer's strategy, and which country is doing the best job of it and what should we be following as best practice?
